Brother Wolf had nothing to say to Li Du. Although Li Du soon lost his passion for finding food in the wilderness, he still taught him seriously.
"What I did just now was actually wrong. That was a way to kill yourself. Don't learn from me, stuffing whatever you see into your mouth …
"You should observe first. If there are maggots and worms on the leaves or stems of the plant, you can't eat them directly. You have to wash them before eating. If there are worms, it means that the plant itself is not poisonous, but the worms themselves can excrete toxins …
"Next is the smell. Cut a small part of the plant and put it in front of your nose to smell. If there is a smell like bitter almond or peach bark, it means that it is poisonous and can't be eaten …
"There is also the irritation. Squeeze some juice and apply it to sensitive parts of the body, such as the forearm between the elbow and armpit. If you feel uncomfortable, the skin will have a rash or swell, then you can't eat it …
"Finally, taste it. Taste it little by little, and then keep it. If there is no problem with it, then you can eat it.
"In fact, only a botanist can identify the thousands of plants distributed in every corner of the world. Real wilderness survival experts will select plants and choose the edible ones, not what they are."
Brother Wolf, who rarely opened his mouth, talked non-stop about what he knew about wilderness survival. At the same time, he personally demonstrated and slowly collected a few kinds of plants.
They did not find any meteorites that afternoon. When they came back, Li Du dragged a bag and a basket that contained all kinds of wild vegetables.
Young Ford did not trust them and shook his head at the colorful wild vegetables. "I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat. If you want to eat, use the same pot."
Li Du trusted Brother Wolf. Although he did not know most of the wild vegetables, if Brother Wolf thought they were edible, then they were. Brother Wolf was very reliable.
Brother Wolf picked some tubers and chopped them up and put them in the pot to stew with the meat. Some small leaves of wild vegetables were crushed with a stone mortar, and some salt and seasoning were sprinkled to make a sauce. The big leaves of wild vegetables were washed.
Big Quinn was in charge of the barbecue. Brother Wolf asked him to roast the meat fatter, so he found some fat beef to roast.
After the roast was done, Brother Wolf brought it over and sprinkled some salt and pepper on the oily, fatty beef. Then, he wrapped a piece of meat with wild herbs and handed it to Li Du. "It won't be greasy this way."
Li Du stuffed the meat into his mouth. The rich aroma of the meat was mixed with the fragrance of the wild vegetables. It was much more delicious than eating roasted meat alone.
The wild vegetable sauce could be dipped in the bread, and it could also be added to the broth after it was cooked. It could harmonize the fragrance of the broth and make it more fresh and delicious.
Dinner was much more comfortable than lunch, and Li Du deeply understood the truth that it was never a burden to have more skills.
For the next two days, Li Du and his team found a lot of wild vegetables in the wild. The meteorite hunters and the villagers also joined in the fun. Young Ford was the only one who stood his ground. He did not want to risk his life.
There were indeed meteorites in Severnaya Zemlya. On the morning of the fourth day, when the little bug flew past a small mound, it saw a rock the size of a fist.
The stone was oval in shape, and its surface was gray and silvery-white. It was covered with droplets of various sizes. It was a meteorite!
Li Du quickly walked over and picked up the stone to examine it. Indeed, he had finally found a meteorite.
At this time, Steve and his team had also arrived. Their meteorite hunting team was unprecedentedly large. After Li Du got the meteorite, he went to find him and threw it at him from a distance.
Steve searched the ground while walking the manul. The fat Kuafu was tied to a dog leash and crawled reluctantly on the ground with a sullen face.
The red-haired girl, Vika, was holding a bunch of grapes in her hand. This was the motivation for the Kuafu to move forward. Its black eyes were fixed on the grapes, and it would eat one every few steps.
Li Du threw the meteorite at the manul, which startled the manul, which was staring intently at the grapes. It jumped on the spot and stared at Li Du fiercely when it landed.
Then it saw Ah Meow, Ah Meng, and Ah Ow, who were beside Li Du.
The Kuafu quickly looked away, and the bristling hair on its back immediately fell, as if nothing had happened.
Li Du laughed. "Steve, your Kuafu doesn't seem to be brave. I don't think it would even dare to chase a dog, let alone chase the sun."
Steve's face was full of helplessness. "Are those bastards dogs? Who would raise a group of beasts like you? Hey, sh * t! Sh * t! Meteorite! "
He saw the shape of the stone on the ground and immediately threw away the rope in his hand to pick up the meteorite.
The noose was thrown on the manul's head. The manul shook its head, then understood that it was free and quickly ran away.
After running a few steps, it looked back at the grapes in Vika's hand, but the bastard ran back and snatched the grapes, intending to run away with the grapes in its mouth.
It turned around and ran a few steps before it was pulled back by the rope with a clatter.
The manul looked back in surprise and saw Vika smiling at it. The other end of the noose was stepped on by the girl …
"This idiot." Li Du laughed out loud when he saw this.
Steve also laughed heartily. "Another meteorite! I knew it was right to bring you to Severnaya Zemlya! Your eyes can find valuable goods in a pile of garbage, and of course you can find meteorites on the ground! "
Their goal in coming to Severnaya Zemlya was to find one or two meteorites. It had only been a few days and they had already found five, which was far beyond their expectations.
Li Du did not know whether it was because he was lucky today, or because the area had not been searched by the Blodwen family, but there were indeed meteorites on the ground in the eastern part of the island.
The next afternoon, when they were ready to call it a day, Li Du found another meteorite, but this one was bigger, oval, and weighed at least ten kilograms.
Li Du gave it to Steve, who owed him a big favor. A large meteorite of this weight was very valuable, and the starting price was tens of millions of dollars!
The meteorite hunters looked on with envy, wishing that they were the ones who found this meteorite.
According to the agreement, if they found the meteorite, Steve was willing to buy it at 80 percent of the market price. That would be millions of dollars, and they would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Two meteorites were harvested in a row, so the total number of stones was six. At dinner, Li Du held the lunch box and asked, "How many meteorites do you want to harvest here?"
Steve said, "The more the better."
Li Du was speechless. "Then when can we leave this place again?"
Steve giggled and said, "If you want to go, then go. You've helped us enough. That's more than enough. But I think we should stay a few more days in the Arctic Circle in this season. Phoenix is so hot! "
